"What if instead of soy sauce, you had your sushi with ketchup?" Elsethread you compare vi and vim to a Trabant and a Morris Minor. I suspect you don't appreciate the editor, and I don't think you are in a position to know what is an improvement or not. It's fine to to like nano or emacs or vscode or whatever.
